Hello
"My name is Adam Essa, and I’ve dedicated over 15 years to working at the crossroads of technology, entrepreneurship, investing, and philanthropy. Most recently, as the Global Crypto Lead for the International Rescue Committee (www.rescue.org), one of the worlds leading global charities responding to conflict in over 40+ countries.
At IRC, I led the adoption of blockchain solutions, created IRC's crypto donation infrastructure, including a global first, and pioneered innovative, crypto-native strategies that bridged the technology with global impact.
My journey into crypto began in 2017—not just as an institutional investor, but as someone deeply committed to the transformative power of blockchain. From collaborating directly with founders and teams to understand their technology, to creating strategies that connect traditional industries with emerging innovations, I’ve built a career focused on channeling technology and investment into action.
I’m a firm believer in decentralization, financial sovereignty, and the ability for AI & blockchain tech tied together to revolutionize financial inclusion for individuals excluded from traditional systems— I sincerely believe this technology drops long-standing barriers for communities to finally be empowered and take control of their own destiny - It needs long-term vision, dedication and strategy to improve digital financial education, & in turn widening financial inclusion.
With a unique combination of institutional investment expertise and hands-on operational experience, I’m also passionate about driving widespread blockchain adoption by helping organizations to truly leverage its transformative capabilities. I believe that if the global non-profit sector harnesses the technology so they become more transparent, accountable, and operationally efficient, these organizations can enhance trust, accelerate impact & importantly gain substantial new sources of funding from completely new donor demographics by simply harnessing the core characteristics of this technology.
Whether you’re a nonprofit exploring AI & blockchain, a crypto company seeking to do more good in the world via philanthropy, a professional services provider navigating a client’s philanthropic ambitions using crypto, I offer the insights and expertise needed to guide you across these multiple sectors.
This is truly where innovation meets impact—together, let’s make it happen"
